The good: Light and compact; 32MB of memory; lets you view and store photos; affordable.

The bad: Low-resolution screen; touch screen isn't always responsive; doesn't play music files.

The bottom line: The Palm Z22 provides an affordable, very basic, and easy-to-use PDA suitable for first-time buyers and technophobes.

Product brief - Palm Z22

Hide

Description: This Palm Z22 is a Palm OS-based, consumer-oriented handheld device. Compared to other consumer-oriented handhelds on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $110.

Pros: Weighs just 3.4 ounces weight, which is somewhat relatively lighter than some similarly priced handhelds. In fact, the typical cost of a product with this light a weight is $230.

Cons: Has a 160x160 screen resolution. This is not out of line with the product's price, but is lower than the average handheld on the market today.

Suitability: Suited for someone who wants basic PIM functions. Also, this handheld should be barely passable for viewing standard images (given that it supports standard at a resolution of 160x160).

Value: In view of its very inexpensive price, this handheld has great features for the money.

Suggestions: (1) If you plan to enter large amounts of data, consider purchasing an external portable keyboard for your PDA. (2) If you are connecting your handheld to a PC running Windows, you might want to use a third-party software utility, such as DocumentsToGo, which lets you access Microsoft Office documents on your Palm OS-based device. (Check your software bundle to see whether such a utility is already included.)
